Mean time (TBC)

Purpose

This topic summarizes the duration given for each step of the procedure. �evertheless, as

the timing depends on too many heterogeneous parameters (hardware configuration,

software configuration, size of the network, transmission network performance, etc.) and

then might significantly vary from a configuration to another, the times given in this

chapter are only for information and planning purpose.

�ote: �ote that durations are given for the reparenting of 1 �odeB in a �etwork

containing 7 R�Cs and 860 �odeBs.

Limitations

Purpose

• �o intra R�C reparenting is supported by the current procedure.

• �o inter ROC reparenting is supported by the current procedure.

• This procedure does not cover the GSM �etwork Elements impact.

• Manufacturer parameter setting is out of scope in the procedure. As Manufacturer

parameters can be different on the target R�C than on the source one, contact your

local engineering in order to set them accordingly.

• The procedure focuses on UTRA� �Es: R�C and �odeB. Core �etwork

reconfiguration is out of the scope in this document.

• Iso DHCP configuration.

• Frequencies used are not modified.

• �eighboring cell managed by other ROC is out of the scope in this document.

• �o modifications should be done on the source, Target, R�Cs and their associated

MO (Managed Object) through WMS GUI, WICL from the beginning of the �RP

(export CM XML file from main server, sheet 1) until the end of the procedure.

• The partial reverse is not supported. The reverse is made for all the � �odeB(s). Due

to this limitation it is recommended to choose �, the number of �odeBs as small as

possible.

Remarks relating to National Roaming Management:

Be careful to avoid any Cell Reparenting (which is defined as a neighboring cell of an

access network of a second operator) to a target R�C belonging to the same operator with

a PLM�ID different from the one of the source R�C: this destination R�C could belong

to a shared coverage areas that will forbid access to this cell for the second operator.

Prerequisites

Purpose

The �odeB reparenting �RP described in this document applies if all the following

conditions are verified:

• The �etwork and the OMC are up and running without any problem. (Alarm, OMC

MIB State, Synchronization State, etc.).

• The ItF-R interface between WMS and the source and target R�Cs are up and

running.

• The same WMS Main Server hosts the source and target R�Cs

• The Itf-B interface:

– For the iBTS: The Itf-B interface between WMS and the �odeB is implemented

via the R�C I�ode in both source and target configurations for all involved

�odeB(s). See the corresponding picture in chapter General description.

– For the OneBTS: The Itf interface links the WMS to the IuB Backbone. See

corresponding picture in chapter General description.

• The source and target R�Cs share the same system version.

• Intra-ROC Inter-MainServer(Cluster) �odeB reparenting: in the ROC if the

Source and the Target R�C are not homed by the same MainServer (ClusterId

are not the Same), prior to the execution of the �RP the related BTS Equipment

and its associated Site (if exists) must have been re-homed from the source

R�C's MainServer(Cluster1) to the Target R�C's MainServer(Cluster2). See

document [R14].

• BTS Equipment software version is not modified.

• The LAC, RAC, SAC of the �odeB(s) must be well declared at Core �etwork side.

• In case of reparenting of a BTS1 in Drop & Insert (initially configured in Drop &

Insert or not) as dropped or dropping of another BTS2 which already exist on the

Target R�C, the BTS2 on the target R�C must be already configured in Drop &

Insert (See document [R3]).

Additional steps

In addition to the reparenting steps performed in step 2 above using the IuB wizard, the

following updates may be required

• If DCHP is to be updated, new subnets may be required on the target R�C.

• OneBTS backplane may require updating if new Vlan Ids have been used for the

transport network to connect to the target R�C.

Sheet 1 - Reverse Engineering

Purpose

This topic ensures that an up-to-date view of the current network configuration is

available.

Presentation

This step details how to proceed with WPS and the main server to import a view of the

current network configuration into WPS if the WPS view is not up-to-date.

This step is recommended when a problem has occurred. You can bypass it if you are sure

that your WPS view is synchronized with the network. In this case, please go to the next

step.

Once the CM XML export is performed, no "on line" modifications can take place on the

target �E(s) until the end of the overall procedure in order to guarantee that the initial

view, on which the procedure is based, is synchronous with the Main server MIB.

Input parameters

�one

Initial status

WPS and WMS are installed and ready to be used. The template files are uploaded.

Step Duration

Step duration depends on the number of �E available on the network. Example: for a

network with 7 R�C, 860 BTSEquipments and 2540 Cells, durations are the following:

• Action 1: less than 20 minutes

• Action 2: less than 10 minutes

Impact on service

�one

Procedure

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Export from the Main server (Global UTRA� export) the XML file describing the

network (If required transfer the file to a WPS PC directory).

Sheet 2a - iBTS Reparenting

Purpose

This activity provides the steps to reparent an iBTS from a source R�C to a target R�C,

from WPS perspective.

During this reparenting procedure, two features are configured:

• Alcap

This feature tracks the implementation of Alcap for the management of the AAL2

connections on the Iub interface (as specified by 3GPP) instead of the partially

proprietary solution.

• Hybrid Iub

This feature introduces support for a hybrid transport (IP & ATM) Iub interface

through a software upgrade and the addition of two (1+1) 4ptGigE Cards on the R�C.

Both features can be activated through the Iub wizard. For more information, see

document [R3] - "Iub Creation".

To parent a new OneBTS, see sheet 2b or 2c- OneBTS Reparenting.

Input parameters

All design parameters regarding the iBTS need to be provided to the Application

Engineer by the �etwork Designers. The design parameters required are:

• Cell planning information

• Topological information

• Relevant parameters values written in WPS templates

�ote: For any questions concerning the �odeB DHCP activation or configuration,

refer to the documents [R15]:

• Alcatel-Lucent �odeB UA07.x DHCP Activation, IM 30-6239

Both features can be activated through the Iub wizard. For more information, see

document [R3] - "Iub Creation".

To parent a new OneBTS, see sheet 2b or 2c- OneBTS Reparenting.

Initial status

Under WPS, a Workspace describing the current configuration of your network is

available. Templates files and RRM tree are imported.

A �odeB is parented to a source R�C and a target R�C is available.

Step Duration

Change I&C parameters

Purpose

This activity modifies I&C parameters of the BTS.

For example, if DHCP configuration is not used, the IP address of the BTS has to be

changed. It is performed by using:

• The LMT for Alcatel-Lucent 9313 Micro �odeB and 9314 Pico �odeB.(See

document [R12])

• The TIL for all other BTS (See document [R6]).

�ote: For any questions concerning the DHCP activation or configuration, refer to the

documents [R15] or [R16]:

• For a �odeB use document [R15], Alcatel-Lucent �odeB UA7.x DHCP


• For a OneBTS use document [R16], Alcatel-Lucent OneBTS UA7.x DHCP


For Drop & Insert configuration, see documents [R10] and [R6].

Important! Before any IP address modifications, be sure of its new value. Any error

will need a change via a local TIL or RMT.

�ote: After any IP address modification, a reset of the �ode B is mandatory. This

operation will make a Supervision and a Telecom outages.

Actions

Out of scope of this document. Specific information could be found in the documents:

• For Alcatel-Lucent 9313 Micro �odeB and 9314 Pico �odeB, see document [R12]

• For all other BTS, see document [R6].

• UMTS Drop & Insert via IBTS with fractional ATM over single E1

Final status

I&C parameters of the �odeB are compliant with the target R�C interface.

7 7PM and FM impacts

Impacts

PM impact

If I&C modifications are performed Chapter“Change I&C parameters” (p. 5-3) in order to

change the IP address, the BTS should be reset (in order to connect BTS to OMC-B). As a

consequence, the BTS Performance counter history is cleared. This implies that the PM

System cannot get the BTS counters related to the latest period before IP change (for

more details see Chapter "How to retrieve counters further to an �odeB IP address

change" in document [R11]).

The reparented �odeB(s) is managed by the PM system.

FM impact

The procedure ensures the correct declaration of the reparented �odeB(s) with respect to

FM management.
